…it pays off. This is true not just for photo sessions, but for all aspects of life of course! Being patient is the key to my photography – well, that and knowing how to use my camera :P For every session, I have a list of shots in my mind that I attempt to get. One shot that I really wanted was an image of everyone jumping as high as possible – so I could catch them with their feet off of the ground at the same time. Just when I thought it wasn’t going to happen, my patience paid off and I got it during the last 10 minutes of the shoot :) Woohoo! Even without that image, I really loved this session! I had tons of fun…and of course, it’s always awesome photographing another photographer (mommy)….because I don’t have to feel weird asking them to do funny things! Plus, I completely understand how it feels to always be behind the camera – and what a treat it is to actually be included in your own family pictures!

….during our newborn session, grandma described this sweet little pea as looking like an angel-baby. I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree…her face is so angelic. With a soft pinky-peachy complexion that is so very delicate, and a sweet feminine little smile – she definitely resembles a little angel. I really could not get over that smile of hers. So adorable! What a happy and calm little girl. She pretty much slept through the entire session…which enabled us to capture all that precious, cuddly, sleepy newborn goodness that really only lasts for the first few weeks of life. She looked so snuggly and soft :) How beautiful is she?

Great Auntie Ikuye
Thanks for sharing these precious pics!! Too cute! Can't wait to meet Spencer in person. Take care and get used to those sleepless nights....let's see, I think they last..hmmmm....a lifetime!! Although they do decrease as the years go by.

Grantie Bupbup just told me about the pix and I could hardly get to the computer fast enough to see the most recent pictures of my first (and so far only) great-grandchild. She is truly adorable and I'm getting very "fidgy" about getting down to S. Calif. to see her.
And what a clever idea for a gift for a new baby!(07.28.2011 01:39pm)

Beautiful pics! Owen can't wait for her to grow up a little so they can play :)(07.31.2011 01:41pm)

It’s a good thing we had grandma and grandpa with us during our photo session, because these two were on the go at all times! And the extra set of hands were so, so much help! Of course, this is to be expected for *almost* 2 year old twins :) They did give me a few moments of sitting still – which, for toddler sessions – is nothing short of a miracle! I can’t believe how fast they have grown. When I last photographed them, they were 8 months old and just learning to stand on their own – and now, they are running (not walking) faster than fast and stealing the hearts of everyone they meet! Max is such a charmer with his million dollar smile…and Mia is so sweet and pretty, with her soulful brown eyes :)

What I mean to say is…anti-posing at its best :) That’s what went on during our beautiful sunset session. So first, let me just comment on how gorgeous the sunset was this evening. It was warm and balmy, sunny and glowy – pretty much perfect (well, aside from the red ants and bugs) so we already had an amazing backdrop to work with. Sunset sessions can be bittersweet though, because we’re running against mother nature’s clock, we have a specific time frame to shoot in – as opposed to a home session or morning session when there’s much more elbow room as far as how long a shoot can go. Nevertheless, although our session wasn’t super duper long, it gave me more than enough time to capture this amazing family’s love! Besides, I don’t know one toddler or baby interested in a 3 hour shoot! But I digress. Back to my post title. So, when photographing toddlers and babies together, the word I live by is ANTI-POSE. No posing! I mean, I’m not fond of posing to begin with, but even more so with toddlers! And I just love, love the resulting images…natural, happy, fun and carefree images of the family in action! I just adored this family! Mom is the sweetest, loveliest person. She had one of the best laughs I have ever heard…or should I say, experienced – because watching her laugh is so cute – she’s adorable! I had a very hard time picking some images to blog because well, I wanted to blog ‘em all! But here are are few faves!

Gina Nyeholt
I love these photos! The entire website is AWESOME. What a gift and talent :)(07.23.2011 01:24pm)

Jennifer Valentine
I can't believe how adorable these photographs are...I created the hairpins the little sweetheart is wearing! She said the pictures were amazing, and I agree...how precious....(07.23.2011 11:31pm)

Great pics! Love the lighting and how it enhances all of the colors.(07.28.2011 09:32am)

If little sister Chloe is anything like her big doggy brother Gus, she will be a sleeping champion when she’s born. It was a complete riot to see Mr. Gus literally pass out on the bed. He was awake one second, then the next thing you know, he put his head down and started snoring! I thought it was hilarious and so cute at the same time :) I’m really, really looking forward to getting some super cute shots of Gus + Chloe together when she makes her debut, I know he will be a great model for our newborn session. Plus, look at that face – is he not the cutest thing? Awww, and look at how adorable mommy is – she has beautiful eyes and such a sweet smile – and that baby bump, it’s so cute! I’m looking forward to meeting their new addition very, very soon! She is going to be a beauty!

…this sweet boy was born only 3 days after his mommy’s maternity session! It’s a good thing we had that session when we did otherwise we would have missed the chance for pregnancy photos :) The timing was definitely perfect! Knowing that his big brothers are so gorgeous, it came as no surprise that he was also quite a cutie pie himself. He was awake for the most part of the session (even with grandma’s oh-so-patient attempts to get him to sleep), so I was able to see just how lovely his eyes were. And his lips, so full and pouty! Towards the end of the session, he did start getting sleepy, so I was able to snag some sleeping baby images that I was so, so happy about! And I won’t even talk about mom – how lovely is she at 10 days after giving birth to her third boy?!

…just belly. All belly. Nothing else. This is a perfect, perfect example of a gorgeous mom-to-be who is all belly. Not every pregnant woman can look down at her bumpity bump without fear of creating triple chins (ahem, like yours truly). She definitely did NOT have that – she was just radiant and pretty as can be. And would you look at that lovely hair and complexion – yes, she also had that pregnant glow. From behind my camera, I looked through the viewfinder and was literally in awe when I saw what was in the frame. I thought this setting was just perfect for her – delicate, pretty & sweet. And we even managed to find some beautiful yellow wildflowers – which aren’t usually in bloom anymore at this location this time of year – lucky us :) Even the thick cloud cover was so fitting – I thought it created a nice, soft, dreamy feel…It was a perfect morning indeed!

It’s heatin’ up here in Los Angeles! It’s been awesome knowing that I can schedule sunset photo sessions and be pretty sure that the beautiful sun will be out. I was so, so happy that the sun was indeed out and shining on this day – which meant I could get lovely, sunny images like these – just in time for the start of summer! It was definitely warm out, so we also hung out in the shade and had ourselves a little picnic :) Although he doesn’t turn two until next month, Kaiden was a sweet, perfect little model and we were able to get some super cute 2nd birthday images of him – and even managed to snag a few beach shots at the very end of the session!

Gloria
Oh my goodness!!! These are amazing!!! Kaiden is the cutest little boy in the world. I can not believe how big he is getting!!!!!(07.08.2011 07:23pm)

Krishni-These are adorable pictures. I love them-especially the ones on the beach. I can't wait to meet Kaiden at Gloria's wedding this month. -Angela(07.09.2011 04:19pm)

…I’m talking about frosting! I think it looks perfect on him :) Blogging these pictures makes me totally hungry for a cupcake (or two). There are few things in life that come close to the cuteness that results from letting a baby eat a cupcake all by himself…especially when that baby is chubby, adorable and super charming like this baby boy. The first is my absolute favorite. He’s focused, and shoves the entire thing in his mouth without hesitation – impressive! Although he did flash his sweet smile several times during our time together, those smiles weren’t nearly as huge as they were when he had a cupcake in hand :) I adore these cupcake shots! But of course, we did take some pictures of him when he wasn’t wearing frosting – and he was equally cute in those too. But overall, I’d have to say I love the cupcake ones most – he wears that frosting well, doesn’t he?!

Lisa C.
As always, beautiful photos Julie! Thank you for capturing Carter's personality so well. I was worried because he was a bit cranky at first, but you still managed to get such wonderful shots. Thank you Thank you!(07.07.2011 11:18am)

Reminds me of two "chunks" I spent a lot of time with 32 years ago! Wonderful pictures! Specially the bucket shot.(07.07.2011 10:25pm)

Mike Spellman
Judging from the shot on the table, it's obvious that Carter will follow in Jackson Pollock's footsteps as an avant garde artist. What a flair for innovative media and materials he has. Intestingly, although all the shots are great, the one my eye returns to the most is the b&w of the three of you. Very striking. Happy birthday, Carter. You're a star.(07.08.2011 07:35am)

Carolyn and Bob Rice
We can't figure out who he looks like other than a happy, little, busy, cute fellow. He must resemble someone in one side of the family or the other. I have to agree with Mike, I liked the one of the three of you the very best---a handsome family indeed. Carrie(07.10.2011 05:36pm)
